As matrix have grabbed the talonsoft stuff - what next?

For me.

Sid's Colonization, Jagged alliance 2, great battles, sid's Gettysburg, Wizards crown SSi(?).......ooh i could go on and on[8D]

Well Sid himself has said that a remake of Colonization is something he has some interest in doing down the road, and tbh I would prefer it to be Sid made rather than Matrix made. Sorry but Sid is to gaming what Elvis is to music...

I would like (as previously mentioned in here) to see Civil War Generals 3 made. And I would not mind a PC version of the board game Britannia either.

How about a remake of the entire 5-star series (except Star General), Panzer General 1 and 2, Fantasy General, Allied General, Pacific General and Peoples General.

Alpha Centauri?

Alpha Centauri?

Oh, now I remember, it was the one where you settled Alpha Centauri. I just wish I could think of the name. [:D][:D][;)]

One of the reasons Avalnche Press refused to permit AdC templates opr Cyberboard gameboxes for any of their titles was the forelorn hope that they could license them to the PC market. Still, they do have some titles that would make dandy PC games, such as the Great War at Sea series and its sequel The Second World War at Sea series, and Solider Kings (a grand-strategic treatment of the Seven Years' War).

It's hard for me to suggest any of the other Avalenche titles that come to mind, simply because they would compete with games Matrix is already doing on the same subjects.

Likewise, while it would be lovely to translate the whole Advanced Squad Leader scene onto the PC, or that of its rival Advance Tobruk, that too may be reinvinting a wheel Matrix is already working on.

One thing I would like to see is an American Civil War game siimilar in strategic scope to SPI's War Between the States monster game. Only on the PC would such a game be truly practical.

And, on a completely unrelated note, I would find a computer version of the old AH classic Statis Pro Basketball more than a little cool

There have been several grand strategy WWII titles, but I still haven't seen one in recent years that I enjoy as well as Clash of Steel. There is an article posted (I am not the author) that sums up some of the better features pretty well.

If Matrix doesn't buy and republish it, I wish someone would adopt some of the better concepts from the game.

Fighter Command and USAAF by SSI
the old "Battlefront" series by SSG - McArthur's War, etc

I would also love to see CCIII re-done with a better campaign structure and vastly improved AI.

Who knew?

What the heck is left?

How about SSI's Panzer General series?

Without hesitation, do not pass go nor collect $200 without acquiring "Age of Rifles"..

Please Matrix, give us a new versione of Flight Commander 2!!! or somithing similar...
PLEASE!

Another vote for Age Of Rifles.
And those of you who want CAW: your wish is granted. Check on the thread in Upcoming games.
Someone said they were having problems with Imperailism on a post 95 windows system.
If you are talking XP,it runs fine if you use the Windows 95 emulaltiion mode.
All the Sudden Strikes run fine on XP if you can get past the STarforce problem.

Hi Guys

Not to wanting to upset anyones dreams but I wanted to let you know that the older games we picked up were not luckly picks.  These titles we selected for gaming and perosnally reasons. Matrix Games is not in the business of just making remakes.  We release many new designs and we plan to keep doing that.  The games we picked up were because we really enjoyed playing them. Many of the community are still playing them. We feel strongly that there is a lot of gaming life left in these games.  These games were left on the side of the road do to business issues and not because any of these games had passed their prime.  We also feel that not every game needs to be in 3D to be modern or fun.

If community response is any proof then we hit the nail on the head. Once again keep the post coming and keep watching you never know what we do next.

So, David, exactly how many times do we have to say AGE OF RIFLES? [:D]

Flight Commander II-- I still play this one. I do not believe much chance of this being available to Matrix but the addition of helicoptors, better air-to ground modeling, and air- to- ship modeling, as well as, some improvements in the campaign area would make make an amazing game even better.

Just reinstalled this myself.

I think this can still be found on Battlefront's ftp site. I take that back, only the mission builder is on there now.

"WAR OF THE LANCE" ....David Heath!

Here is one of the wall choice..

BattleMasters.Awesome game .
